New Hampshire river eroding historic cemetery, skull found near riverbank, report says


A winding river in northern New Hampshire is eroding the bluff beneath a historic cemetery there -- and human remains have already been recovered along the bank, according to a local report. But its historic Blake Cemetery, established in 1802 and active until the early 1900s, is at risk of being washed away due to erosion from the Upper Ammonoosuc River. The graveyard is the final resting place of three veterans of the Revolutionary War, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader. New Hampshire Fish and Game announced Thursday that its dive team would search the river for additional human remains and gravestones.
